[DISCONTINUED] Perhaps A Perfect Match | Jerome Clarke x reader

Chapter six

Jerome's POV:
We walked back to the house hand in hand but released them when we were in sight. I went in first and Y/N followed. No one was around. We have missed lunch but were just in time for dinner. We walked into the dining area and sat in our places.

Later that evening, I saw Y/N in the kitchen I went up behind her. "Hey!" I said placing my hands on the sides of her arms. Her arm flung back, her elbow and shot into my stomach. Man she really wasn't kidding when she said she winded someone. "Ah! Dude!" I muttered. She span around; "Sorry but I did warn you!" She said with a little smile. I brushed myself down.
"You must have known it was me cos that wasnt hard enough to wind me." I laughed. "Shut up!" She said grabbing my top and pulling me down to her. We kissed. It was quick as we heard Trudy. We ran into the utility room and waited for her to leave. It was so dangerous and mysterious. We kept sniggering to each other as we were pressed against each other. When Trudy left we burst out laughing quietly. When we stopped, we looked at each other then kissed. Then instantly raced of to our rooms.

Y/N POV:
Extremly early morning raise today. I decided to throw on my work out clothes and go for a light run. Putting in my headphones, I walked out the door.

Getting back, I had a quick shower, changed into my uniform and went down to breakfast. Back to school today. I hate Mondays. Breakfast was chill until; "Where were you when I woke up?" Amber asked across the table. "I went for a run, Amber." I answered. She gave me a look as I ate my regular one piece of toast.
Once I had finished, I headed out to go up the stairs to get my bag. When I got down again, Jerome was standing at the bottom. I didn't want to draw attention to us so I walked past him and went for the door. "Y/N, wait! Want to walk together?" Jerome said suddenly. I turned around with a slight scrunched up face. "Sure." I said and we left together.

Third lesson was drama. I think it's my first drama lesson. "Right class! Today we are going to be telling a story through three words: 'i love you'. Pick your partners and go." Miss said.
Amber instantly went with Alfie and Eddie and Patricia did the same. Mara and joy were left with me and Jerome. Joy obviously went with Mara which left me with Jerome. I couldn't complain but I did a little side eye and sigh to pretend I didn't want to go with him.

Jerome: "I love you."
Y/N: "I love you."

"Great work you two! Keep it up." Miss said to us. Great, what a way to draw attention to us. "Why don't you ask her out already?!" Alfie said. Jerome punched him in the chest and they both laughed. He turned back to me and I had an unpleased look on my face. His face dropped but then smiled. "Ha Ha. Very funny." I said sarcasticly.

-After school-
When we got home, everyone is being rushed into the lounge area. "Right! We have the welcoming dance coming up tomorrow night so all of you are to attend. Go on now!" Victor boomed. Walking out to our rooms, Amber squeals at me; "Y/N! Let me help you get ready! I've got three dresses you'll love." "I don't even want to go." I said.

Jerome's POV:
I could over hear Y/N talking to Amber. "I don't even want to go." She said. Why not? Maybe I should ask her? I mean, I know she wants to keep it secret but if I asked her...? I don't know.

Y/N POV:
She dragged me upstairs and insisted I at least look at what she had. She did have one really nice dark red dress. I agreed to wear that one and let her do my hair but I refused the make-up. There is no way she's doing that.
